Which antidepressants do NOT cause weight gain

[2ncourage]

Forgive my stupidity here. The so called "med" websites give totally opposite information. Which anti-depressant(s) cause weight loss as opposed to packing on the pounds.

Thanks for any facts and experiences.

you should try using a couple of doses of synephrine throughout the day.
It sure makes me happy, and it wont pack on fat.

I take fluvoxamine (generic luvox), it doesn't cause weight gain.

Wellbutrin(Buproprion) which increases levels of norepinephrine and dopamine and is regarded as a stimulating anti-d for vegetative depression.

Prozac(Fluoxetine) which is classified as an SSRI, but has been shown to elevate dopamine levels, which would really make it an atypical anti-d. It has been shown to cause weight loss and is effective for depression,anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, various phobias and PMD(pre-menstrual dysphoria)

why do you want to be on an anti depressant?

your doc should be able to answer this quite quickly, and id only want to be on an antidepressant if a doc scripted it. also, i wouldnt take the advice on here too seriously when it comes to meds- walk into your local pharmacy and ask

if you get desperate come back and ill go through them with you

Bro, if you feel you need to be on an anti-d, weight gain should be the least of your concerns.

I tried four different anti-d's in combination with other drugs before I found the cocktail that finally worked for me. That cocktail saved my life.

If I had allowed weight gain to be of any consideration when making my choice, I would likely be dead by now.

Fuck worrying about weigh gain. Worry instead about getting mentally healthy.

Very best of luck.

I can tell you that Paxil makes you gain like lousiana house wife. Stay away from paxil if you care about your physique.

Paxil is one of the drugs that I'm on. If it was responsible for any of my weight gain, it was worth it.

I'd rather pack a few extra pounds than be suicidal.
